A mock educational film follows Alice and Timmy's Facebook breakup, showing how status changes, embarrassing photos, wall posts, and friend-stealing fuel a feud.
0:11 Meet Alice. She has just arrived home from a hard day at work. 0:17 She switches on her computing machine and looks to see what her friends have been up to on Facebook, the electric friendship generator. 0:27 First, she checks in to see what Timmy's been up to. Alice and Timmy have been going steady for 6 months, and she thinks he's a real swell guy. 0:38 Alice hasn't spoken to Timmy since last evening and can't wait to see what his day was like. 0:44 That's funny. At 2:05 this morning, Timmy changed his relationship status from in a relationship to single. 0:55 Even more curious, he became friends with Donna Whitehouse at 2:07 AM. 1:04 Timmy just bungled rule number one of Facebook relationship etiquette. 1:09 Don't change your relationship status without consulting the other person. 1:14 What a dope. Alice decides there must be some sort of mistake that Timmy she knows would never disregard her feelings this way. 1:23 She sends him a note to see if it was a mistake. Alice waits, and waits, and waits. 1:31 Alice is tired of waiting, so she decides to stick it to Timmy. 1:36 She uploads and tags a few embarrassing photographs of Timmy. 1:41 Timmy may have a hard time making new friends when they see that he likes to dress up in Alice's undergarments. 1:48 Those photographs sure are funny, but Alice just broke Facebook relationship etiquette rule number 2: Don't post embarrassing photographs of other people. 1:59 Shame on you, Alice. It's okay, Alice. We all make mistakes. 2:04 It looks like Timmy has posted some messages on Alice's wall. 2:09 I can't believe you posted those photos of me. Sorry for being such a square. 2:16 Baby, are you there? By the way, it was just a regular rash. 2:22 TMI, Timmy. You've just broken Facebook relationship etiquette rule number 3. 2:27 Be discreet when posting messages on another person's wall. Alice doesn't take the bait. 2:34 She removes Timmy's posts and tries to move on with her life. 2:39 That's interesting. Timmy has been very busy on Facebook making friends with all of Alice's friends. 2:47 Who would want to be pals with a grody Jody like Timmy? He has violated Facebook relationship rule number 4: Don't steal other people's friends. 2:58 Cool it, Alice. No one's going to date you if you get frown lines. 3:04 Alice is fed up, so she creates a group called Timmy Gordon's A Real Wet Blanket. 3:10 According to the group's description, Timmy cries over spilled milk. 3:15 Timmy buys things not made in the USA. Timmy wets the bed, and Timmy is a communist. 3:25 Be careful, Alice. This is clearly in violation of Facebook relationship rule number 5. 3:31 Don't start hate groups. Nothing good can come of this. 3:40 What did I tell you, Alice? 3:47 Timmy is in the slammer, and Alice is ashamed. All of this could have been avoided by following the simple rules of Facebook etiquette. 3:56 Don't be bungleheads like Alice and Timmy. Have good Facebook manners, and the electric friendship generator will be more fun for everyone.
